Moving to Kendall: What You Need to Know

Kendall continues to attract new residents from across the country during August, and it is easy to see why. Located in southwestern Miami-Dade County, Kendall combines suburban comfort with easy access to everything Miami has to offer.

Why Choose Kendall?

Kendall is one of Miami-Dade County's most popular neighborhoods for families and professionals. The area offers more affordable housing than Coral Gables or Coconut Grove while still providing excellent schools, shopping, and dining.

The area attracts families, professionals, and retirees alike. With Dadeland Mall nearby, Baptist Hospital of Miami within minutes, and Florida International University just up the road, residents have everything they need close to home.

Location and Accessibility

Kendall sits right off the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) and US-1, making commutes to Downtown Miami, Brickell, or Miami Beach straightforward. The Dadeland Metrorail stations connect you to the rest of Miami-Dade without fighting traffic. Miami International Airport is about 20 minutes north depending on traffic.

Community and Lifestyle

Kendall residents enjoy a strong sense of community. Dadeland Mall, The Falls shopping center, and the Kendall Village Center offer shopping and dining. Parks like A.D. Barnes Park and Tropical Park provide green space for families. The weekly farmers market at Pinecrest Gardens draws crowds year-round.

Neighborhoods to Consider

When planning your move to Kendall, The Crossings area is popular with newcomers for its family-friendly streets and good schools. Each neighborhood has its own feel. Some offer walkable dining and shopping, while others provide quiet, tree-lined streets.
